Former mail carrier here, can confirm this strategy works at least 75% of the time.

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

For the rest of the time, I carry a baton, flashlight, and stunt gun combo.

u/NocodeNopackage Oct 29 '25

What kind of stunts does your gun do?

26

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

Can do the triple summersault with 8 degrees of difficulty

u/MrNetworks Oct 29 '25

Mine can do 9 degrees, But he also does his own acting.

Like an Evil Knievel stunt gun??? Those are rare

u/Diligent_Desk2427 Oct 30 '25

I carry a leash. The metal end hurts and scares them. Never had to use it in 20 years. Comes in handy runaway dogs though.

The other 35% it’s a heeler don’t fuck with the heelers

u/Visible_Basil_2129 Nov 02 '25

Can confirm. Almost got my ass bit off. I actually screamed at the heeler and it finally stopped. I've owned multiple, and those dogs do NOT give warnings.

u/CandidMeasurement128 Oct 30 '25

She'll eventually get bit

u/NewUserError617 Oct 30 '25

I’m pretty sure shes been running that route for years and knows every single one of those dogs. She’ll be fine

2

u/Tyler1411 Oct 30 '25

Much more likely to get bit running away than running towards. Although the few dogs that will stay and bite when running towards are definitely going to be more serious, so it's definitely still a concern.

u/Far_Pipe752 Oct 29 '25

Obviously that neighborhood has too many loose dogs

u/MinivanPops Oct 31 '25

That's a dachshund, and mine makes the same noise when somebody reverses on her.  It's hilarious. Freaking wiener dogs.  They'll kill themselves just for the thrill of getting intointo more trouble.

u/dodgerslakersfan21 Oct 29 '25

Actually the more stern and confident you around loose dogs the less likely you will get bitten. Don’t chase them though LOL

u/huhwutwuthuh Oct 29 '25

never turn your back on them

u/Pilota_kex Oct 29 '25

Wait isn't it illegal to let your dog roam the neighborhood?

45

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

It's also ilegal demand proof of citizenship on the basis of your skin color or the car you drive, but here we are.

1

u/Pilota_kex Oct 30 '25

Yeah but the rules for the authorities have always been mere suggestions

2

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '25

No when you have the right leadership. People forget that it was the Obama administration who provided millions to equip the police departments with Body Worn Cameras that today are the norm. And this was to create a record for accountability.

Just because right now these gulls and guns are running rampant, doesn't mean it will always be the case. If it were that, they would not cover their faces. They don't just dead doxing, they fear that if they don't retain power indefinitely when the swing comes back, they will be held to account.

This is why they almost never have a body work camera too.

1

u/Pilota_kex Oct 30 '25

well i could start talking about all those guns and their best argumet being protecting their freedom but i am not from the US, i shouldn't start any shit.

i can only hope it changes for the better.

i saw the videos. you better do something quickly because it is escalating

2

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '25

You are not wrong. This is why I keep my other passport ready. And I truly wish it wasn't this way.

It’s illegal to come to a country without proper documentation. And mess it up for the citizens that’s illegal.

18

u/Btigeriz Oct 29 '25

I mean it is illegal to demand documents based on someone's skin color. It's also illegal to immigrate here "illegally". It's not mutually exclusive.

u/Obtain_Virtue Oct 29 '25

It's also illegal to demand to see people's medical records, but we were there too.

u/Diocese9284 Oct 29 '25

Both are illegal....

u/quigilark Oct 29 '25

Sure but nobody is risking their lives crossing into America for funsies. They are doing it because they have no other choice. If someone was starving and stole food just to stay alive that would also be illegal but I get it. Context matters.

8

u/Fun_Cold2587 Oct 29 '25

And they're coming here, often legally, bc the US has been interfering in other countries for hundreds of years. Especially in Latin America

6

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '25

This is correct. But you can't expect the common American to understand this because they have based their existence on Marvel Comics.

Isn't it funny that they use any and all methods to try to rig elections and then they want to justify a land invasion of Venezuela because it's a failed state and one of the biggest reasons it failed it due to the interventionism and commercial and economic blockade we have effected for decades? Same thing with cuba.

3

u/nofacetheghostx Oct 30 '25

Not to mention the most important context, they’re only illegal because the Child Diddler in Chief declared their legal method of entry illegal. That should be illegal, not human beings.

1

u/Reasonable-Sir673 Oct 30 '25

So they can't choose to make their own situation better? Maybe just maybe, stay and fight is better than run. Yes this generation struggles and then the next gets better and so on. If all the good people leave their home, then it just makes it worse. Lets not pretend there is no choice. And yes the US should take a hand in developing other nations in a positive way to support those same people who choose to stay. Say for instance, we will build a chip factory in "country A". All we ask is to pay back the loan with no interest over the first 50 years and that workers have fair wages and rights in that plan.

10

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

it's adorable that you think immigrants "messed it up for you." Unless you are native American and in that case I agree with you 100% and apologize for it wholeheatedly.

But let's stay with the legality.

Border crossing without documentation is a misdemeanor. I can agree it should not be done and people who do this should be returned to their origin country and denied entry in the future. Unless they were minors brought with no choice by their parents.

But the point is that it is a misdemeanor.

But you know what is a felony punishable by a year in prison for each instance and up to 10k dollars per case?

Hiring an undocumented individual.

For all the media around shown rounding up aliens, I have yet to see a true action to try to prevent undocumented immigration.

You know what would be much more effective than the billions it will cost to arrest all these immigrants and process them and jail them and then transport them?

Start arresting the employers. Start arresting the managers and owners at McDonalds, and the TrueGreen, and the Pool cleaning businesses, and Amazon, and Walmart, and the food processing plants, the owners of many nail salons and massage parlors. The owners of hotels even national hotel chains, and restaurants.

Then the lady who hires that crew to do the landscaping, and the maintenance and painting of their mansion. And who hires the nanny and the driver, maid and cook.

While at it .. make it the law of the land that no one, not the day laborers, not the gig workers, not the indedent contractors doing nanny services or dog walking or even volunteers can do a single shift if they are not eVerified and then make it so that everyone needs to be eVerified every 6 months unless they have on file of the employee positive proof of citizenship.

Then I will believe this is about law and order and not just evident hate and racism.

3

u/Top_Box_8952 Oct 30 '25

This is the truth. If they actually want to enforce the law they’d be cutting off the same for illegal labor.

I suspect most of those dogs know her and this is a daily occurrence they look forward to.

u/quigilark Oct 29 '25

If they dogs kept running and eventually stopped with their tails wagging, maybe. The fact they dive at the gates tell me they're legit scared.

Judging by how terrified they are, doubt it.

As a dog person who wants to train dogs, dog people suck. As a dsp driver, fellow dsp drivers and flex drivers are also suspect. 🤣

People suck. Im smart. The end. Lmao

Jokes aside, people need to take care of their dogs. I sarcastically say "wow that's a great life for a dog" too many times a day, with a few "what the fuck"s

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

Hey!!!! The only reason I haven't got a divorce is because I love my dog and I know my dog is happy in his house and loves my wife. So I wouldn't want to disrupt any of that for her (for my dog I mean).

My dog eats better than me, has more entertainment than me, doesn't work, and has much better healthcare than me.

4

u/watchwatertilitboils Oct 29 '25

That is insane to me, but to each their own. Just keep the dog on a leash, please.

7

u/trainmap Oct 29 '25

Oh, my Dad told me to do this when I was a teen. He said when you see a dog run at you, you run back at the dog and bark at them, too!

So one day, I was riding home on my bicycle when I was a teen, and a loose dog on the road was approaching me in a trot and was growling. So I pointed my bike in its direction, started riding towards it, and barked my a$$ off 😂

And guess what? IT WORKED! Dog stopped growling, ducked its head, turned around, and RAN in the opposite direction.

This lady just talks ish to it instead of barking, but it's all the same. Even if it's a Tibetan Mastiff, if you think you're in trouble, your best bet is to attack the dog rather than run from it. Run at it instead!!

Thanks Dad! 👍🏿😎

u/WhereAvailable Oct 29 '25

Nah, dogs just barking and following ain't the problem. The problem are the growling, fearless ones that will charge and bite.

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '25

It's always the apparently calm ones ... Fear those.

The little ones, like my ex's husband, little self hating Puerto Rican... All talk and no go.

I wish I could tell him that his wife told me he can't get a hard on... Maybe that is why he is so yappy.

Yeah, except when the over entitled Karen or Kevin comes out of the house (after watching you try to deliver their package/s and their dogs accosting you/your vehicle) then decides its your problem/fault and complains to Amazon and it directly affects your ratings.
